Today I want to show you this baby crochet cardigan that I made for my youngest daughter. I just loved this project. The round yoke gives it a feminine and original touch.

This is a very simple project once you learn how to crochet the yoke, especially when you have to divide it into fronts, back and sleeves. This step is similar to what we learned in the tutorial of the little girl crochet cardigan, the only difference is that in this project I crocheted 2 dc instead of 1 into de joining stitches.

If you want to transform it into a sweater or jacket, you just have to continue crocheting 1 dc into each of the 26 stitches that we leave for the sleeves.

To increase the size, repeat rows 6 and 7 until you reach the desire size for the yoke. From there the rest of the steps are the same, only changes the number of stitches.

To make you easier to understand it, here you can see the tutorial:

Here you can see the charted pattern:

Row 10) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in each stitch of the previous row. 2 dc in the ch 2 spaces. Repeat until end. Total: 126 dc.

In the row 11 we will divide the yoke into: fronts (18 dc each), sleeves (27 dc each) and back (36 dc).

Body:

Row 11) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 1 dc in the next 16 stitches. Mark the 18th stitch, skip the next 27 stitches (sleeve). To make the dc for the beginning of the back, insert the hook into both, the 18th and the 46st, and finish working the dc as usual. 34 dc in the next 34 stitches. Mark the 81st stitch, skip the next 27 stitches (sleeve). To make the dc for the beginning of the right front, insert the hook into both, the 81st and the 109th, and finish working the dc as usual. 17 dc in the next 17 stitches. Total: 70 dc.

Row 12) Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc of the row). 1 dc in the 4th st. *Ch 2, skip 3 st, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 4th st. Ch 2, skip 3 st, 3 dc in the 4 th st. Repeat from * until end. In the last st crochet 2 dc instead of 3.

Often the fantasy stitch is a multiple of a number that does not match with the number of stitches that you have in the yoke, so instead of 2 dc you finish with (1sc 3ch 1sc). You need 4 more stithes to finish the row with 2 dc.To do that you have to crochet the row 12 skipping 2 stitches instead of 3 between the 3 dc and the (1sc 3 ch 1sc) 4 times. The rest of the row continue skipping 3 stitches.You can do this at the beginning, end or middle of your work (I prefer 2 times at the beginning and 2 at the end).

Row 13) Ch 1, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 1st st. *Ch 2, 3 dc in the ch 3 space, ch 2, (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 2nd dc of the previous row. Repeat from *a until end. Crochet the last (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) group in the last st of the row.

Row 14) Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc of the row). 1 dc in the ch 3 space of the previous row. *Ch 2, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 2nd dc. Ch 2, 3 dc in the ch 3 space. Repeat from * until end. 1 dc in the last ch 3 space, 1 dc in the last st of the row.

Row 15) Ch 1, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 1st st. *Ch 2, 4 dc in the ch 3 space, ch 2, (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 2nd dc of the previous row. Repeat from *a until end. Crochet the last (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) group in the last st of the row.

Row 16) Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc of the row). 2 dc in the ch 3 space of the previous row. *Ch 2, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) between the 2nd and the 3rd dc of the previous row. Ch 2, 4 dc in the ch 3 space. Repeat from * until end. 2 dc in the last ch 3 space, 1 dc in the last st of the row.

Row 17) Ch 1, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 1st st. *Ch 2, 5 dc in the ch 3 space, ch 2, (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) between the 2nd and the 3rd dc of the previous row. Repeat from *a until end. Crochet the last (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) group in the last st of the row.

Row 18) Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc of the row). 2 dc in the ch 3 space of the previous row. *Ch 2, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 3rd dc of the previous row. Ch 2, 5 dc in the ch 3 space. Repeat from * until end. 2 dc in the last ch 3 space, 1 dc in the last st of the row.

Row 19) Ch 1, (1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 1st st. *Ch 2, 5 dc in the ch 3 space, ch 2, (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) in the 3rd dc of the previous row. Repeat from *a until end. Crochet the last (1sc, ch 3, 1 sc) group in the last st of the row.

Rows 20 to 23) Repeat rows 18 and 19.

Body edge:

Row 24) Ch1, 2 sc in the ch 3 space, *1 dc, 1 hdc in the ch 2 space, skip the 1st dc of the shell , 3 sc in the next 3 st, skip the last dc. 1 hdc, 1 dc in the ch 2 space, 1 sc in the ch 3 space. Repeat from * until end. 2 sc in the last ch 3 space.

On the sides: 1 sc in one row, 2 sc in the next. When you reach the neck: 2 sc in the 1 st st, 1 sc in the next st. 2 sc in the last st of the neck. Sl st in the 1st st of the row.

It´s been a while since I published a new pattern, so I’m happy to show you this cardigan or sweater. It´s a very simple and easy project, ideal for beginners and for those who want to crochet something for baby using very little material.

This cardigan is size 3 months old and is crocheted with double crochet. Ideal to practice how to crochet a yoke.

Here you can see the written instructions:

Yoke:

Row 1) Ch 51.

1 dc in the 5th ch from hook, 1 dc in each of the next 6 ch. Total: 8 dc (these stitches will form the left front side).

In the row 10 we will divide the yoke into: fronts (16 dc each), sleeves (24 dc each) and back (32 dc).

Body:

Row 10) Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 14 dc in the next 14 stitches. Mark the 16th stitch, skip the next 24 stitches (sleeve). To make the dc for the beginning of the back, insert the hook into both, the 16th and the 41st, and finish working the dc as usual. 30 dc in the next 30 stitches. Mark the 72nd stitch, skip the next 24 stitches (sleeve). To make the dc for the beginning of the right front, insert the hook into both, the 72nd and the 97th, and finish working the dc as usual. 15 dc in the next 15 stitches. Total: 62 dc.

In this new post I want to bring you another version of the baby hexagon jacket. This version has no holes, wich makes it warmer and allows other colour combinations.

This pattern, as the other version, is made with two hexagons that folded in half become the two halves of the jacket. Once the two halves are seamed together, we add the collar and cuffs.

This pattern can be found on the web in several languages ​​as “saquito hexagonal o en hexágono”, “chompita hexagonal”, “chompa en hexágono”, “casaquinho hexágonos”, “hexagon jacket” or “hexagon sweater”. This version is inspired in the Sue’s Hexagon Baby Sweater from Cozy’s Corner.

As most of the post of the blog, this is an ideal project for beginners and those who don’t like the idea of crocheting sleeves separately.

To increase the size of the jacket make bigger hexagons by adding rows.

In this post I want to leave you a new pattern: a hat in which the detail is given by the relief. This relief was made by crocheting the back post single crochet stitch. Here you can see the tutorial of this stitch (in spanish).

The rest of the pattern is crocheted in double and single crochet stitches, making it an ideal project for beginners.

This time I want to bring you this free crochet pattern of the hexagon jacket that I made for my daughter Micaela who will be born in January of next year.

This jacket is made with two hexagons that folded in half become the two halves of the jacket.

Once the two halves are seamed together, we add the collar and cuffs.

This pattern can be found on the web in several languages ​​as “saquito hexagonal o en hexágono”, “chompita hexagonal”, “chompa en hexágono”, “casaquinho hexágonos”, “hexagon jacket” or “hexagon sweater”. As you can see, this is a very popular pattern that allows you a lot of color combinations.

It is an ideal project for beginners and those who don’t like the idea of crocheting sleeves separately.
